A very articulate and classy response I see!

You guys are seriously bitchy on here and need to learn some manners! Yes Simon's punctuation isn't great, but don't belittle him for it!! Simon, take everything that you read on here with a pintch of salt. I'm an industry insider and professionals don't act as nasty as you guys.....

Thank-you guys for the information. I think this just goes to show you how big the Atlantic can be sometimes. The perception I have is based merely on what is common knowledge here.

What musical delights have I got to look forward to in order to see me through to Christmas? Sweet nothing! I loathe duke box musicals. Sometimes they just about wo...

I love, love, love Andrea McArdle. Let's just put that out there first. Yes, Annie's a fun show with great toe-tappin' tunes but above all that, she has an amazing voice. Like all true artists, her voice is unique and distinct. Just a few bars of something and you can tell it's her. She doesn't sound like many of the Broadway girls who seem to have come off the factory production line. So why then can't she get a gig in New York? Does anybody know? Is she difficult to work with? Her name has ...
